Hi! My name is Chandi. My mom and dad were very sad when I got diabetes.
I don't remember that day because I was only 2 years old. My sister Davita
doesn't remember it either because she was not even born yet. I am upset
that I have diabetes. I don't like getting my blood sugar checked and insulin
shots. But the worst thing is that other kids can get sweets sometimes when I
can't. It seems unfair to me. Most of the time I try to forget about
diabetes and have fun.

I love to play with my friends and family. The best
time is when we go skiing and I get to wear my helmet and ski on blue hills
with moguls. I also love dancing and singing and to draw pictures. I study
in my school in Spanish and English and I like very much. But, I can't run a
lot at school because sometimes I get a low blood sugar and I have to go and
see the nurse.

I would love to get mail from other children with diabetes.
Please write to me at chandinyc [at] aol.com.
